A sneak peek at my project:

I got ultra-excited about making my room.. I made textures and all too.
Now I cant use them because the photoshop normal map plugin isn't supported on 64 bit photoshop for some reason >_>
Needless to say.. I'm pretty discouraged from making my map now -_-

The CS4 suite comes with 32 bit and 64 bit launchers, sure yours doesn't have the same?

I should probably get to work on mine. And I will, once I get the final compile for my coast map done.
What do you guys think of a dam?

Trapt: ya, that probably wasn't the best texture i could have used on the beams, and i agree about the other points too... I just needed someone to point it out for me i suppose, since i haven't really looked at it since i built it last year.. =)
Hotdog: looks pretty cool!

So perhaps somebody can put the rules around here to make it more official?
What about the other source project, is that one abandoned?
If not, there should be a list with the mappers who already made the maps. Me being one of them.

This is a continuation of that project The_(c)Striker, so if you want to use your old room, we will. I'm game when it comes to putting everything together.
So I suppose we should sort out the rules? How do the original rules measure up? We should forget the rule about the skybox and sky material however, use whatever you want and I'll link by level transition if I have to. It's no bother.
DOUBLE-EDIT: - Feel free to make as many entries as you want, they will be scattered about the final mod
Anything else you guys can think of?

- Make a room, and connecting corridors
- No size, skybox or lighting limitations (just be reasonable)
- Focus on combat, visuals, puzzles... your choice
- Make sure it works! I don't want to be fixing totally broken maps =(

@Strider: Looks awesome! I'd just suggest you make the ambience light less yellow, closer to white. Even slightly bluish, seeing the sky.
@Trapt: That looks very good. I first thought that was snow on the windows, then I realised it's just the very dirty broken glass. Maybe you could try making it more transparent? Other than that, it's great! moar screenz plz.

Mine is basically a cut and paste map, with just the dam and a couple small water brushes for height. I have no scenery nearby, because I want it to be able to fit in with anything it might be next to.

Be sure to use spotlights instead of point lights in that first area.

Post #278573
Those are spotlights.
However, I have point lights there too, so I may want to tone both down a bit for contrast.
I needed the point lights for the vents and lights to look natural.

Point lights to keep a lamp or lightbulb lit aren't necessary in Source. Textures on props can light themselves.

I've been trying to upload images of my map, but the internet access here is stopping me from accessing just about all image hosting sites. I'll have to upload them on the weekend when I'm at home.

Trapt, I really like the look of that map, please continue it and more screen shots if you can!

agrees with ashepard your map looks intriguing trapt. Yours too Strider it screens look lovely so far, tho i can't say that texture scheme is very interesting (just the nature of the theme your doin i think tho). Maybe you can find a way to get some brighter colors in there creatively, without clashing with your theme too badly..

In Trapt's map, how did those wheelchairs get pushed to the stair landing where there is no obvious wheelchair ramps?

Is this still happening?
I've started on my entry, and I've finally managed to upload some images of it. It's not yet complete though, and it's my first Source map, so there are some problems I've yet to get around.

starting to get maps for what?
I have been waiting like...hmmm...years for all of you to get on board. Nobody seems to want to map for source-like it's any harder than half life 1. I think the i/o system is much easier to use than the half life 1 system and the texture detail is alot better.
Loved it!---moved on!
Working on my lame entry....will post some screen shots soon.

It's as done as it's gonna get until I find something else to add it to.
Knock yourselves out, but there are a couple things that have to be done before it can be called a finished map, and I can't do them.
